When we are actually flying the plane, we should be paid exactly the same as a mainline pilot. 17% direct contribution is the new standard. If you think you're going to make a ton of soft money at allegiant doing day trips, you're delusional. Even with min day pay, it will only force the company to be a little more efficient with trip pairings, but I doubt you'll see many LAS-SAN-LAS trips paying 5:15.
